Sample Page

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

…or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

Common questions

Simply because while 50p of each pound comes directly to Herne Bay, the lions’ share of the other 50p goes into the prize fund while a small amount also goes towards administration costs such as postage, licensing and lottery management. It’s actually a very good deal.

The sky’s the limit. We know that if just 10% of the eligible population of Herne Bay signs-up, we could raise around £800 per week, that’s almost £42,000 pounds a year which enable a lot of great events and grants to local groups.

Did you know? Virtually every event and project undertaken in Herne Bay, from the development and upkeep of the pier to the restoration of the clock tower, Herne Bay Festival, Carnival, Airshow and a myriad of smaller projects have been funded by and organised by local community groups who have raised funds through business and individual donations and, in some cases, grants from national bodies and central government. Alas funding is becoming more and more challenging and difficult to access.

That is why we needed to do something different to secure the vibrant events scene we already enjoy as well as fund-raise towards more ambitious projects which will help to ensure Herne Bay is a place where people find a range of good-quality, sustainable job opportunities and where our young people can thrive, develop and go on to be the future business owners, tradespeople and entrepreneurs in Herne Bay.

It’s an ambitious plan but, one which needs to happen in order to make Herne Bay a fun, vibrant, prosperous and safe place to live, work and visit for future generations. It really is that vital.

The distinct message coming down from central government is devolvement of powers and decision-making to the community but that also means looking to us, the community, to raise the necessary money and find the required resources.
